The Democratic investigators of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs released a report accusing USDT of becoming an important financial conduit for Iran's shadow banking system, and called for the Treasury Department and the Justice Department to investigate whether Tether violated sanctions and banking laws.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin released the plan for "The Computer of the Crypto World," stating that the Hegota fork scheduled for next year may be Ethereum's last "regular" fork, with subsequent upgrades introducing recursive STARK, automated formal verification, optimized consensus, and quantum security capabilities.He indicated that Ethereum will transition from a blockchain to a hybrid architecture that integrates modern cryptography. This roadmap aims to shorten transaction finality to 8 to 32 seconds, significantly reduced from the current approximately 200 seconds with 12 confirmations, and will adjust verification, consensus, and block construction mechanisms through PeerDAS, SNARK, and FOCIL.

The issuer of the stablecoin USDT, Tether, stated on September 28 that actions involving USDT in 2026 have frozen approximately $550 million, with the related wallets identified by U.S. authorities as being associated with the Central Bank of Iran and the Iranian sanctions network. Tether claimed that its cooperation with U.S. and international authorities has supported over 2,900 investigations globally, with more than 1,600 involving U.S. law enforcement agencies.According to Tether, in April 2026, it assisted in freezing over $344 million USDT across two addresses based on information provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and U.S. law enforcement agencies. The next day, OFAC listed these addresses as digital currency identifiers of the Central Bank of Iran, with the sanctions entry associated with the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah. In July 2026, the Treasury expanded the designated scope to four additional TRON addresses, with over $130 million USDT frozen across the four wallets.Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that USDT is not a safe haven for sanctioned actors, terrorist organizations, or criminal networks, and that public blockchains allow authorities to see the flow of funds, enabling Tether to take action when law enforcement provides credible information. Tether also mentioned that it collaborates with over 340 law enforcement agencies in 67 countries, and its wallet freezing policy has been aligned with the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list.

According to CoinDesk, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has released a long-term roadmap, referred to as Streamlining Ethereum. The vision proposes that by 2030, Ethereum will surpass a mere blockchain ledger and plans to completely restructure the protocol in the next three to four years.The transformation includes expanding transaction throughput by approximately 1000 times, introducing zero-knowledge proofs to enhance privacy and combat quantum computing threats. By 2030, the network is expected to accommodate 2TB of traditional dynamic state data, along with an additional 100TB of new scalable storage, to achieve underlying state separation and optimization. The vision also aims to establish Ethereum as an infrastructure driven by cryptographic validation, with applications extending from finance to social systems. Most developers support this plan, although some voices believe the implementation timeline is somewhat delayed.

Vitalik posted on the X platform, stating that he attempted to briefly explain the true meaning of the plans for Ethereum that forked after Hegota. Ethereum is no longer just a blockchain; it is a hybrid architecture that combines blockchain with modern cryptography, enabling more powerful features.Related plans include FOCIL, EIP-8288, streamlined consensus, state management, formal verification, memory pool improvements with privacy features, and long-term obfuscation techniques.

According to informed sources, the Trump administration is considering launching an overseas stablecoin program, which may take the form of a joint venture with private enterprises.

The plan has not yet established a partnership with Tether and has not yet become an officially operational project.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that PeerDAS has been running stably for nearly a year with virtually no issues, which is an "underappreciated achievement" by Ethereum client developers.Vitalik mentioned that PeerDAS is a complex task and is the first large-scale blockchain system case to achieve "consensus on data availability without any single node downloading the complete block," realizing decentralized consensus without the need for complete data replication.

Ethena posted that since the initial airdrop in early 2024, the token incentives related to the stablecoin USDe have decreased by about 85% compared to 2024. Starting at the end of this month, the token incentives and new inflation related to USDe will be completely eliminated, and future scale expansion will no longer be driven by additional token subsidies.

Vitalik posted on the X platform stating that synchronizing an Ethereum node now takes only half a day at the fastest, with aggressive settings allowing disk space usage to be below 0.5 TB.EIP-4444 and the client teams' optimizations for snapshot synchronization have significantly improved the synchronization situation. Glamsterdam will further enhance node synchronization, for example, the new synchronization protocol of Nimbus will adopt relevant improvements.

According to CoinDesk, the stablecoin issuer Tether stated that its assets held in the licensed digital bank EQIBank in Dominica account for less than 0.034% of the group's total assets. Based on Tether's disclosed total group assets of $18.775 billion in June, its related exposure is approximately $64 million, but Tether did not disclose the specific amount.It was reported that EQIBank processes customer funds through the U.S. payment processor Capstone, which utilizes accounts at Wells Fargo and JPMorgan for fund transfers.
